There is no radio or TV coverage, but the Globe will live-blog the game at Extra Bases.

Each pitcher will go one inning. What is Bobby Valentine looking for from Aceves and Bard?

Getting through healthy, throw strikes, work on the plan that they've been planning -- that they work it in a game. [I'm] probably going to see them do some of the stuff that they've seen here, probably going to have them do a pitchout once in a while and a pickoff that wouldn't normally be done. But you'll see them try to take what we've been doing here into a semi-competitive situation. This is like minor surgery. It's only a "B" game for those guys who aren't playing in it, for the most part.

Not quite a "real" fake game, but we'll take it. From some Florida paper:

"Admission is free. The concession stands and restrooms are open. The public address announcer and the scoreboard operator have the day off though."

If I was there I'd be all over that scoreboard! "What, no scoreboard guy? I'll do it. I'm RIGHT HERE. Just gimme some 0s, 1s, and 2s, or even some chalk or something, I'll go out there right now! What?"
